Kenneth Matsson Eliminated in 15th Place ($44,767)

We pick this hand up on the flop, where Marty Smyth and Kenneth Matsson are heads up and about to build a big pot. The dealer spreads {2-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, and both players check.

The turn brings the {K-Hearts}. Smyth checks, and Matsson bets out 60,000. Smyth raises it up, making it 208,000 to play. Smyth makes the call and is all in for 200,000. The cards are shown down:

Matsson: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {7-Spades}
Smyth: {3-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

Smyth was leading when the money went in with his triple nines. Matsson's best hope was to catch a flush card. He did just that when the {3-Hearts} ripped off. Unfortunately for him, that was also the full house card for Smyth, and Matsson couldn't beat that. Smyth made his nines full of threes, and Kenneth Matsson heads to the exit in 15th place, earning $44,767.
